OUR SERVICES

Group Counselling
Unique Traits Community Services offers group counselling sessions designed to provide individuals with a supportive, safe environment where they can share experiences, learn from others, and gain insights into their personal challenges.

Our professional counselors facilitate these sessions with a focus on fostering understanding, trust, and connection among participants, creating a space where people feel comfortable exploring their emotions and working through challenges.
Group Therapy and Programs
Unique Traits Community Services offers a diverse range of group programs, each designed to support individuals in engaging with others, promoting personal growth, and improving well-being in a creative and interactive way. Our group programs, including Movement to Music Therapy, Gaming Therapy, LEGO Therapy, and more, are structured to cater to a variety of needs, interests, and therapeutic goals, providing opportunities for social interaction, skill development, and emotional healing.
Movement to Music Therapy: This program integrates the therapeutic power of music with movement, providing individuals with a fun and accessible way to improve coordination, express emotions, and enhance physical health. Participants engage in guided movement sessions set to music, which can help improve motor skills, reduce stress, and promote relaxation. Movement to Music Therapy is especially beneficial for those who may find traditional forms of therapy challenging, as it offers a more dynamic and enjoyable approach to both physical and emotional well-being. It also encourages self-expression and boosts confidence as individuals explore their own rhythm and movement.
Gaming Therapy: Our Gaming Therapy program uses video games as a tool for emotional and social development. Through carefully selected games, participants can develop problem-solving skills, improve focus, and practice teamwork and communication in a relaxed, non-judgmental setting. Gaming also offers opportunities to explore emotions, challenge negative thought patterns, and learn resilience in a controlled environment. Our therapists guide individuals through the process, ensuring that the games used align with therapeutic goals and foster positive mental health. Gaming Therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals with social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, or those who struggle to express themselves in traditional therapy settings.
LEGO Therapy: LEGO Therapy is a highly engaging group activity that uses the building of LEGO models as a means of improving social, communication, and problem-solving skills. In these sessions, participants work together to create shared projects, encouraging collaboration, turn-taking, and expressive communication. This approach has been particularly effective for individuals on the autism spectrum, as it helps them practice social interactions in a structured, low-pressure environment. LEGO Therapy also promotes creativity, enhances fine motor skills, and provides a sense of accomplishment and pride when participants complete their projects.
Additional Group Programs: In addition to these core programs, Unique Traits Community Services offers a variety of other group therapies and activities tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals. These may include art therapy, mindfulness and relaxation groups, storytelling workshops, and life skills training programs. Each group program is designed to foster social connection, improve mental and emotional health, and build practical skills that individuals can use in everyday life.
By offering these diverse and engaging group programs, Unique Traits Community Services creates inclusive, supportive environments where individuals can connect with others, learn new skills, and explore personal growth in a creative, non-threatening way. Whether through the healing power of music, the collaborative nature of gaming, or the hands-on experience of building with LEGO, our group programs provide valuable therapeutic benefits while also promoting a sense of community, belonging, and fun.
